Republican reign must go to make

The Coming Drought.

IAN Oakland justice has issued several
warrants for COu neil Bluffs saloon men
to be brough hit out there. Search war
rants have been issued for several places.
They have not been served, as the officers
IN whose hands they have been placed
are not clear as to their duties in the
matter. The county attorney has been
asked for his opinion, before these papers
are served, and as he has been busy in
the trial of the Jones case, he has had
little time in which to look up the
points raised. 1t is expected that he will
to-day give the officers the benefit of his
opinion, and then they will act in accord
ance with that.
There is much nervousness about the
searching of saloons against which in
functions have been issued. One Broad
way house was yesterday made the scene
of a rather practical joke. The man be.
hind the bar was serving out beer and
other liquids, when lone of the boys"
came in hurriedly with the startling in
formation that the officers were out with
the search warrants, and they were COM
ing that way. The news was enough,
and the advice to get rid of the stuff was
promptly followed. The keg of beer,
fresh-tapped, was instantly rolled out
and emptied in the alley. Some bottled
beer was flung into an clubhouse. Bottles
of whisky disappeared with lighting
rapidity. and in fifteen minutes there
was rapid disappearing and wasting OF
liquid stock. About an hour later 1t was
learned that the scare was all joke.

SAL L ON G A S E S.
The Saloon Warfare.

The news of the arrest in Omaha of
the two informers against the Council
Bluffs saloons caused no little sensation
here yesterday. One of the two is SAID
to be a Missouri rough, and the other
lie Mars tough. However this may be.
il is claimed that they signed aflidavts
against the saloons rather recklessly;
and yet these ailidavits covered too much
of truth and fact for the saloon men to
run the risk of trying to break them
down by any cross-examination or
counter showings. The only escape
seemed to be to run these fellows off,
and it is said a sum of money was raised
to induce them to disappear. In order TO
make the contract sure and prevent them
returning, it is understood that thus
pretty pair signed allidavits deny
ing the truth of the matters
set forth in previous aflidavits,
and giving some interesting particulars
rs to how they were induced to make
these first aifidavits. They are said to
now swear that they were hired to nose
around among the saloons, and that they
were paid for signing the ailidavits to be
used against the saloons. With these
latest ullidavits, denying the previous
ones, the saloons Interested felt pretty
we'll satisfied that the fellows will not re-
turn voluntarily to testify in court here.
The evidence of the sale of liquors being
thus practically destroyed, they expected
to see the bottom Knocked out of the
cases. The most stress and importance
has been placed upon the cases of viola
ton of injunctions issued some time ago.
The penalty for such violations is heavy,
and the only way of escape seems to be
to destroy the evidence. This is thought
to be done by getting these informers
to make counter atfidavtts. Their
present arrest is understood to be the
failure of the attempt to run these men
off. 1t is understood that the men were
got into y room, and there they were
urged to sign the new affdavits, but they
refusing to do SO. some money was
slipped into their pockets and their ar
rest Immediately followed. Such Is one
statement of the affair 1t is said to be
the intention of the saloon men to keep
the men locked up SO that they cannot
appear to testify, or to force them to
leave the country. There is considerable
feeling over the matter and all sorts of
reports ahoat. Almost anything IS to be
believed of this kind of witnesses, and it
is difficult to get at the real facts until
they are opened up IN court.

Waylaid Last Ni1ht.

Last night about 1O45 o'clock, as F.
Doninsse, who tends bar at No. 1O1 Main
street, left the saloon to 60 to his home,
corner of Sixteenth avenue and Ninth
street, he was attacked in front of Grone.
veg u Schoentgen's. wholesale grocery
house on Main street by man who after.
wards gave his name as Jennings.
1t seems Jennings was lying in wait
for his man for some time ana was
noticed by Officer Dyer, who kept up a
watch. As the attack was made Dyer
went for Jennings, but Jennings ran
away. After long chase through Main
and Fourth streets, and few shots
from his revolver, Dyer finally caught his
man near the Kiel hotel. Jennings re-
sisted arrest and a general rough and
tumble fight ensued, during which Sher-
i'll Reel came to the officers assistance
and Jennings was landed IN the city Jail.
1t is SAID that Jennings is a Swede and
tough customer in general. What his
purpose in waylaying Doninsse was does
not appear, but IN all probability it was
to got even with Doninsse for some

Tunnel is nine and one half miles

six and one half miles; there is one
in Massachusetts four and three
quarters miles; the Standege Tun-
mel, on the London and Northwest
ern, is three miles long, and the
Boz Tunnel rather less. But the
special feature of the Severn Tun-
mel lies in the fact that two and
one quarter miles of It have been
constructed from forty-five feet to
one hundred feet below the bed of
d rapidly-flowing tidal estuary,
offering engineering difficulties
which make 1t the most remarkable
tunnel in the world. And here 1t
may be remarked, that there are
thousands of bridges constructed to
one tunnel. The air offers fewer
Instructions than the earth, and
man prefers flying to burrowing
like the worm. New York City
has to be approached by artificial
means, as it is surrounded by
water. There is one tunnel under
way. One bridge to the Brooklyn
shore is built, and another is in con-
temptation. But it is predicted
that in time, the North as well as
the East river will be spanned by
connections more stupendous than
even the famous Brooklyn Bridge.

A Solar Engine.

Capt. John Erickson, who con-
structed the Monitor gun-boat, that
did such effective service during
the civil war, is now in his eighty
fifth year, and is still in full
possession Of his faculties, keeping
constantly employed in making
new inventions. For twenty years
he has been busy in perfecting a
solar motor, which is intended to
utilize the rays of the sun for the
direct production of power, to be
applied to machinery. Scientific
men speak in the highest terms of
the possibilities of this invention,
which Is too technical to be dis
cribed here. These motors will
cost but little more than a steam
engine, while the amount of work
they will do in hot countries will
enable the owners to clear their
cost within a year. Sunlight is
common enough, and hence the
cheapness of the new motor. We
live in a marvellous time for new
inventions. Scientific men are
hard at work to get all the power
possible out of coal. Only fourteen
parts out of a hundred are now util-
lized. Then petroleum is being
used as fuel. Marvellous as have
been the inventions of this century,
there is every reason to believe
that the twentieth century, near at
hand, will witness strides in devices
to increase power and diminish
work, greater than any ten previ-
GUS centuries.-Demorests' Monthly

death of his step mother. On ar
irving there he took his bed and
never left the house again until
death released him ofhis sufferings.
AS q teacher he was a success and
stood in the front ranks among the
teachers in his county. He took
an active part in the Instutite and
Teachers meetings, and held a four
years certificate. The school
sought him not he the school. But
it is his Christian life we wish to
speak of more particularly. At the
age of IA he sought and found
Christ, in the pardon of his sins
and joined the M. E. Church at
Fairview of which he was a faith
full member until the pale horse
and his rider brought the summons
for him to come up higher. In the
church he served as Sabbath
school Supt. and as class leader for
the young converts in all of which
he proved himself faithful. When
speaking to his Land Lady before
his death he said he was
not afraid to die, that did not
trouble him at all, he was ready.
This he frequently said during his
affiiction it was all right. His
peace was made with God. He
had the evidence of his acceptance
and he was resting firmly on the
Rock of Ages. On the 26th. his re-
mains were followed to the Fair
view church, by a large concourse
of friends and acquaintances. The
funeral service was preached by
Rev. Harrison. L. A. NJ.

KEPT FROM HER BE-
LOVED SPIES.
Miss Van Zandt refused Sight Of
lllm..N0 Hope for the Anarchists.

Chicago, Jan. 29.-August Spies,
the condemned Anarchist chief, is
still In body and mind. Sheriff
Matson keeps him very close and
refuses to permit any body to see
him save the lawyers and Miss
Gretchen Spies. Every possible
subterfuge has been attempted by
Miss Van Zandt and her family to
gain admission to the prison yard,
but all in vain. Miss Van Zandt
sends basket of victnals and o
letter to Spies every morning and
receives letter in return, but the
intercourse ends there. The seven
other condemned Anarchists charge
that Spies has greatly damaged
their case before the Supreme
Court, and bitterly denounce the
cowardly course with Miss Van
Zandt. Outside the Jail the Anar-
chists in charge of the defense
fund are very anxious. They are
in pressing need of $4,000 and lack
$4,000 Of that sum in cash on
hand. Every possible source of
revenge has been pumped so dry
that the receipts from circulars
and begging letters frequently
fall below 81 a week.
The best criminal lawyers in
Chicago united together in the
opinion that the Supreme Court
would decline to interfere in the
sentence Of Judge Gary. This
opinion is so much thought of that
arrangements at the Jail for the
seven executions will proceed next

DOmesticatiOn of the Buf.
falO.

A gentleman is now sue cessfully
domesticating the American buf.
falo at Stony Mountain, Manitoba.
Starting his herd in 1873 with four
heifer calves and one bull, it now
numbers sixty-one head; the
greater number pure buffalo, the
rest half breeds. When we saw
them in January, all were sleek
and fat, and yet they were then
living on the open prairie and feed
ing on the prairie grasses covered
by snow. At this time the snow
was deep and the thermometer
had, for long time, registered 20
deg. or more below zero. In Jan.
of the preceding year one of the
cows had calved on the plain,
and although at the time the ther-
mometer registered 3s deg. below
zero, neither cow nor calf seemed
to suffer in the least. When q
blizzard comes on, the animals lie
down together, with their backs to
the wind, and allow the snow to
drift over them, so that under the
combined protection Of their own
wool and the snow they are 'quite
warm. Not ono of this herd has
ever exhibited the slightest symp-
toms Of disease, although the only
care they have is occasional watch
ing, to prevent them from straying
away. Thus, winter and summer,
they live and thrive on the bare
prairie, with numbers undimished
by any of the ordinary cattle
scourges, and with expenses for
care reduced to minimum.
